Introduction
Whether you are using the graphical user interface (GUI) or the command line interface (CLI),
Dell
™ OpenManage™ Server Administrator performs essential systems management tasks.
The reporting and viewing features allow retrieval of overall health status for systems on your network.
At the component level, you can view information about the voltages, temperatures, current, fan
RPM, memory functioning, and many other critical component details. You see a detailed account of
many relevant cost of ownership (COO) facts about your system in summary view. Version
information for BIOS, firmware, operating system, and all installed software is easy to retrieve.
Configuration features allow the Server Administrator to perform essential tasks described in detail
in the following sections.
NOTE: You can use the CLI instead of the Server Administrator home page, and turn the Server Administrator
Web server off if you have security concerns. The CLI does not use the Web server. Use the omconfig system
webserver action=stop command to turn off the Web server. The Web server starts automatically after a
reboot, so this command must be issued every time a system starts up. See "omconfig system webserver" for
more information.

14 Introduction
Using CLI Commands from Windows Command Prompts
If you are running the Windows operating system, use the 32-bit command prompt to issue a Server
Administrator CLI command. You can access the 32-bit command prompt by clicking the Start button
and pointing to Programs→ Accessories→ Command Prompt shortcut, or by clicking the Start button and
selecting Run, then typing cmd.exe in the Run dialog box.
Do not type command into the Run dialog box to launch a command line window; this activates the
MS-DOS
®
emulator command.com, which has environment variable limitations that can cause subtle
problems with the CLI.
Primary CLI Commands
The commands that carry out the functions of Server Administrator are:
•
omconfig
•
omhelp
•
omreport
The omconfig command writes values that you assign to an object's properties. You can specify values for
warning thresholds on components or prescribe what action your system is to take when a certain
warning or failure event occurs. You can also use the omconfig command to assign specific values to your
system's asset information parameters, such as the purchase price of the system, the system's asset tag, or
the system's location.
The omhelp command displays short text help for CLI commands. The shorthand equivalent of omhelp
is the command for which you want help followed by -?. For example, to display help for the omreport
command, type one of the following commands:
omhelp omreport
omreport -?
The omreport command produces reports of your system’s management information.
NOTE: For an overall summary of CLI commands, type omhelp.
Introduction 15
Table 1-1 lists the primary CLI commands used by Server Administrator. This guide contains a section
for each primary command.
NOTE: omupdate commands are no longer supported in Server Administrator and are replaced by Dell Update
Package or Server Update Utility commands. To update the different components, download the Dell Update Package
and run <package name> /s [/f]. See the Dell Update Packages for Microsoft Windows Operating Systems User’s Guide,
the Dell Update Packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux User’s Guide, or the Server Update Utility User’s Guide for more
information on corresponding CLI syntax.
Additional useful topics about the CLI include:
• Working With CLI Command Results
• Glossary
CLI Error Checking and Error Messages
The CLI checks your commands for correct syntax when you enter them. If you enter a command and the
command is executed successfully, a message displays, stating that your command has been successful.
Success Messages
For a successful omreport command, data about the component displays. When data for the component
displays, your command is successful.
The following omconfig command examples show valid CLI commands and their success messages:
Command:
omconfig chassis temps index=0 warnthresh=default
Message:
Temperature probe warning threshold value(s) set successfully.
Command:
omconfig chassis biossetup attribute=speaker setting=on

Command:
omconfig system assetinfo info=depreciation duration=6
Message:

Failure Messages
CLI failure messages provide reasons why some commands do not succeed. Some common reasons why
commands fail include syntax errors and components that are not present. Many error messages provide
syntax information that you can use to execute the command successfully.
If you try to execute a command for a component or feature that is not present in your system
configuration, the error message states that the component is not present.
Command:
omreport chassis currents
Example message:
Error! No current probes found on this system.
Command:
omconfig chassis volts index=3 minwarnthresh=3.3000
Example message:
Error! Number with up to 3 digits after decimal point expected, read
3.3000
The value given by the command specifies more than 3 digits after the
decimal point. A valid minimum warning threshold value for volts
contains up to 3 digits after the decimal point.
Ty p e :
omconfig chassis volts index=3 minwarnthresh=3.300
When you enter the revised command with three decimal points, you receive another error message:
Error! This voltage probe min warning threshold must be between
11.400 and 12.480.
Revised command:
omconfig chassis volts index=3 minwarnthresh=11.500
Message:
Voltage probe warning threshold(s) set successfully.
Introduction 17
Scripting and Comparing With the CLI
The Server Administrator CLI allows administrators to write batch programs or scripts to be executed by
the operating system. For an enterprise with many systems, an administrator could write a configuration
script that specified the warning thresholds for each major component of a system and also specified a
set of actions that the administrator wants each system to take in case of a warning or failure event. In
the most critical cases, the administrator could write a script so that the system shuts down to prevent
damage. The administrator could then distribute and execute the script to many managed systems at the
same time. Such a scenario facilitates configuring any number of new systems acquired by a company
and makes implementation of new system administration policies easier across many existing systems
that require reconfiguration.
A similar scenario could be used to populate a large number of newly acquired systems with detailed asset
information. Much of the information would be the same, such as the manufacturer or lessor of the system,
whether support for the system is outsourced, name of the system's insurance company, method of
depreciation, and so on. Any variable that is common to all systems could be scripted, sent to all managed
systems, and executed. Asset information that is unique to a system could be scripted as a group and sent
to that managed node for execution. For example, a script could specify values for all unique variables
such as owner, primary user phone number, asset tag, and so on. Scripts to populate unique values would
set all unique variables at once rather than one by one through the system's command line.
In many cases, the CLI allows a user with a very well-defined task in mind to retrieve information about
the system rapidly. If a user wants to review a comprehensive summary of all system components and
save that summary information to a file for comparison with later system states, the CLI is ideal.
Using CLI commands, administrators can write batch programs or scripts to execute at specific times.
When these programs execute, they can capture reports on components of interest, such as fan RPMs
during periods of high system usage compared with the same measurements at times of lowest system
usage. Command results can be routed to a file for later analysis. Reports can help administrators gain
information that can be used to adjust usage patterns, to justify purchasing new system resources, or to
focus on the health of a problem component.
Command Syntax Overview
Commands vary in complexity. The simplest command has only command level 1. The omhelp
command is a simple command. When you type omhelp, a list of the main CLI commands is displayed.
The next level of complexity includes commands that contain command levels 1 and 2. All of the about
commands are examples of command level 2 complexity. The omconfig about and omreport about
commands cause a very brief summary to display. The summary shows version information for the
systems management software installed on your system; for example, Server Administrator 1.x.
Some commands have command level 1 and command level 2 and one name=value pair. Consider the
following example command that instructs Server Administrator for more details about the environment
for Server Administrator:
omreport about details=true
18 Introduction
Command level 1 is omreport, command level 2 is about, and the name=value pair is
details=true.
Many commands use command level 1, command level 2, and command level 3, but do not require any
parameters (name=value pairs). Most omreport commands are of this type. For example:
omreport system alertaction
causes a list of alert actions that are configured for components on your system to be displayed.
The most complex commands have all three command levels and can have multiple name=value
pairs. An example of two name=value pairs:
omconfig system assetinfo info=depreciation duration=3
An example of nine name=value pairs:
omconfig system assetinfo info=acquisition
purchasecost=
<n> waybill=<n> installdate=<
mmddyy
> purchasedate=
<
mmddyy
> ponum=<n> signauth=<
text
>
expensed=<
yes | no
> costcenter=<
text
>
In each section, command syntax and other information about commands is formatted with any of the
following fields that apply:
command level 1 command level 2 command level 3 name=value pair 1 name=value pair 2
omhelp: Getting Help With CLI Commands 19
omhelp: Getting Help With CLI Commands
The omhelp command and its equivalent, <command> -?, accesses the CLI's detailed help text
interface. You can get help at several levels of detail.
Each fully qualified CLI command may have a variable number of distinct parts: the command
(command level 1), one or more subcommands (command level 2 and command level 3, if present),
and one or more name=value pair(s).
By appending -? (space-dash-question mark) to any command, you can get help on the command.
Example Help Commands
When you type omconfig -?, you get general help about the omconfig command. The help at
this level lists the available subcommands for omconfig:
•about
•preferences
• chassis
• system
When you type omconfig system -?, CLI help lists all of the subcommands that are available
for omconfig system:
• alertaction
• alertlog
• assetinfo
• cmdlog
• esmlog
•events
• recovery
• shutdown
• thrmshutdown
• webserver
Figure 2-1 shows the levels of help for a command.
20 omhelp: Getting Help With CLI Commands
Figure 2-1. Different Levels of Help for a Command
You can also parse the omconfig system assetinfo command as follows:
<command level 1 command level 2 command level 3> <name=value pair 1>
[name=value pair 2]
where command levels 1, 2, and 3 are represented by omconfig system assetinfo, name=value pair 1 is
represented by info=depreciation, and name=value pair 2 is represented by method=straightline.
To set your depreciation method to straight line, type:
omconfig system assetinfo info=depreciation method=straightline
The CLI responds with the following message:
Asset information set successfully.
When you type omconfig system assetinfo -?, the help that displays provides information
about assigning values for the name and option fields. Partial results for the request omconfig system
assetinfo -? are as follows:
assetinfo Set asset information.
For one info value, specify one or more optional parameter(s). Table 2-1 displays the optional parameters
for info=acquisition:

omreport: Viewing System Status Using the Instrumentation Service 21
omreport: Viewing System Status Using
the Instrumentation Service
The omreport command allows you to see detailed information about your system components.
You can retrieve summaries for many system components at one time, or you can get details about a
specific component. This chapter shows you how to get reports with the level of detail that you want.
Commands documented in this chapter vary in whether they define the fields that appear in the results of a
particular omreport command. Fields are defined only if they have a special or less familiar use.
As with all other components, you can use omreport to view component status, and omconfig to
manage a component. For information on how to configure components for management,
see "omconfig: Managing Components Using the Instrumentation Service."
Often you can use omreport commands to get information you need to execute an omconfig
command. For example, if you want to edit the minimum temperature for a warning event on a
temperature probe, you need to know the index of the probe you want to configure. You can use
omreport chassis temps to display a list of probes and their indexes.
Conventions for Parameter Tables
When listing the parameters that a command can take, the parameters are listed in alphabetical
order instead of the order in which they appear in the command line interface.
The symbol |, often called pipe, is the logical exclusive or operator. For example, enable | disable
means that you can enable or disable the component or feature, but you cannot simultaneously
enable and disable the component or feature.
omreport Command Summary
NOTE: Although this chapter lists all possible omreport commands, the commands available on your system
depend on your system configuration. The results that display for the omreport command vary from one
system to another. Data displays for installed components only.
NOTE: When a system includes an external chassis, the displayed results vary by operating system.
On SUSE
®
Linux Enterprise Server and Red Hat
®
Enterprise Linux
®
systems, omreport commands display
external chassis information in a separate section after the main chassis information. On Microsoft
®
Windows
®
systems, data about the external chassis does not appear in omreport output.
